Ha, we used a small bottle of cologne and a lighter to make a mini flame thrower whilst sitting around during lunch. But we didn't intend to hurt anyone, except those damn ant's.

Not something I did but it was funny as hell. Winds were 15+mph so I was grounded so I wandered around watching tandems. I see JC giving the tandem jump course to an elderly lady ~ 60's and two 20ish people. The TM tells the lady that on the plane ride up she will be stitting in his lap, she said something to the order of him being frisky on the ride up. Heheh I about died. Or one of the TM's walked up to a student and said "so who are you jumping with?" student replied with "OH Im jumping with _____", The TM says "I'm sorry" and walked away. Bwahaha. edited to add. Also one of the TMs was saying that a student was in the plane ready for exit screaming "no, no, no, no, no," but all the TM heard was "Go,Go,Go,Go,Go". hehe

The 104 was from a cessna I believe. I watched the one at Arizona Air play in somerton AZ, Jay was using 2 cessnas, and then while they were refueling they used a porter I think. And I believe he stopped at like 4am, and he still had more time but stopped anyway. I believe he just took breaks to eat, (like stopping for 15 mins to grab something, or he ate something on the way to altitude. (amazing to watch) At night all you could see was the airplane taking off then a few minutes later you could see his green glow stick floating through the air and then hed plop down, grab a rig and then back in the air.

Ok, so how many times have you jumped out of an airplane? 40 times!!! thats 40 times more than most of the world. Practice practice practice. On the ride to altitude just keep going over it in your head. Try standing in your arch position (on the ground) and pretend you just did a perfect exit and do a practice pull (with your eyes closed) do that so many times it becomes boring and then do it some more. Remember you are doing this to be free of everything, why let some little worries stop you from having fun?!? I am on aff lvl 4 now and the past 4 jumps (did 1 iad then 3 aff) everything was fine until the door opend then I just start controlled breathing (like yoga) step in the door, and out I go, dont think about it so much, just get your ass out there an have fun!!! Good luck and you'll get it.

Well I have noticed that they(asshole spammers) are now using non normal characters such as "Fréé séx..." For those of you that dont know just hold down the ALT key and then enter a number. The range for the ones that are being used in the emails are 129-167, so when you set up your email filter just make it delete all emails with those characters. so when your in your filter list just hold alt and press 129 then let go and a (ü) should appear and just repeat until you get to 167 (or copy what i have below). Separate each one by a comma or semi colon (whatever your filter uses) and it should stop most of the new spam coming in. Happy Hunting. filter list ü,é,â,ä,à,å,ç,ê,ë,è,ï,î,ì,Ä,Å,É,æ,Æ,ô,ö,ò,û,ù,ÿ,Ö,Ü,,¥,ƒ,á,í,ó,ú,ñ,Ñ,ª,º

My brother got in an accident on his motorcycle(broke his arm/wrist) on last thursday so I was out of it for awhile(mentally). Then I went to the DZ on Sunday just to get away from everything. An instructor talked me into doing my aff II. Well while Im getting ready a pigeon flew and landed right under my seat and just stood there looking at me, I was changing shoes etc and he just stood there. Well 20mins later Im flying up in the otter going over the jump in my head. Got out and did everything fine. Reserve JM let go and flew in front ~ 7k redocked and waited while we flew down, and at about 5500 we flew threw a light haze (amazing). at 5k I pitched and waited, waited, looked at altimeter 4k still in FF, looked at main JM and then the bag came off my back and deployed, 3-4 line twists. Got down and did my first stand up landing.!! So there goes too many firsts in 1 jump. 1) first haze ride. 2) first PC hessitation 3) first stand up landing 4) first semi solo Free fall what do you think?
-
Well I just got my financial aid check. time to go to the DZ.

did you calibrate it? There should be a calibrate program with the software for the yoke, and there should be a calibrate program within the software itself.(2 calibrations)

Hmmm....Take the mouse ball out of the mouse and tape it somewhere on the desk. put vaslinene on the palm and fingers of the mouse. cut small pieces of paper and wedge them under the mouse buttons so they cant click anything(or different keys on the keyboard...pop out the keys and wedge something underneath them) adjust the brightness on his monitor so its screaming bright. or completely dark so he thinks the computer isn't working. find the computer case and on the back by the powersupply switch it to 220v instead of 110v (it wont turn on) take a dryerase marker and write stuff on his monitor. if its a new monitor, go get a nice magnet from radioshack and turn half the screen green(by swiping the magnet by the screen) to fix it just hit the degauss button. go get limberger cheese and hide it in his desk/locker.

What about something to launch basers into the sky. Something like the superman ride at six flags but have no restraints so once the car stops the baser keeps going to ~2000' before they start to return to earth. (Kinda like a 2000' catapult)
